    Salaam,

    Kaana is used in AlQuraan frequently. It is wrongly translated and twisted its meaning to fit their personal understanding. Kaana is always translated as was. Like for example 1850

    1850
    1850 And when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He became jinn and departed from the command of his Lord. Then will you take him and his descendants as allies other than Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange.

    You can check how translators translated this word in 1850 here.

    If Iblees was of Jinn then why he got punish when order was given only to malaaika ?

    297
    297 Say, "Whoever became an enemy to Jibreel - it is he who has brought that down upon your heart, by permission of Allah, confirming that which was before it and as guidance and good tidings for the believers."

    2184
    2184 a limited number of days. So whoever among you becomes ill or on a journey - then an equal number of days. And upon those who are able - a ransom of feeding a poor person. And whoever volunteers excess - it is better for him. But to fast is best for you, if you only knew.

    3340
    3340 Muhammad did not become father of one of your men, but the Messenger of Allah and last of the prophets. And ever is Allah , of all things, Knowing.

    41
    41 O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah , through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah became ever, over you, an Observer.

    Now you can check again the same translators for same word kaana in different aayats mentioned above - here for Jibreel, here for you, here for Muhammed, and here for Allah.

    How they change the meaning of a single word as per their requirement? What is wrong with Iblees? Why for him was translated as "was"? There is not "is" or "was", kaana simply means became .

    So, Iblees was Malaika and he became Jinn because he did not follow order of his Lord.

    You can see a very important usage of this word HERE in topic of Nabi.

    May Allah increase us in knowledge and guide us to His true path pr

        peace mmkhan,

        According to corpus, in 1850, "kana" is "3rd person masculine singular perfect verb" meaning an action done/completed, so "was" is appropriate.
        Unless there is something I am not aware of.

        If Iblees was of Jinn then why he got punish when order was given only to malaaika ?

        It could be iblees was of malaika/controlling force and jinn/hidden, i.e. a hidden controlling force. Does it say anywhere in AQ that "malaika" and "jinn" are mutually exclusive terms?

        Even if you use "became" that would imply iblees was malaika previously, i.e. malaika ---> jinn

        All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

              Peace Wakas,

              If so, it does not fit all instances of Kaana used in AlQuraan. Many references already given in my original post, please check.

              It could be iblees was of malaika/controlling force and jinn/hidden, i.e. a hidden controlling force. Does it say anywhere in AQ that "malaika" and "jinn" are mutually exclusive terms?

              Even if you use "became" that would imply iblees was malaika previously, i.e. malaika ---> jinn

              If you notice bro, you cannot use "was" in all instances but you can use "became", malaika are kings derived from malak means king / who holds authority. Malaika are upgraded ones from Jinns. Allah created only Jinn and Naas to serve him.

              May Allah guide us to His true path pr

                  I did -- it's not like English, need to use context.

                  One should never use "was" in 411 ... indeed The God kna/is Knowing Wise

                  Perhaps cross-check carefully apply depending on context...

                  kna (masculine singular)
                  knat (feminine singular)

                    I agree with you that it depends on context. Same goes for 411, as per context Allah became knowing judge. There is no word in AlQuraan having two or more meanings, inshaAllah. That is how it guides us to the CORRECT meaning.

                      Salam brother

                      KANA = Is, it indicates the continuous present

                      read all ayahs, where the word KANA is ,
                      if KANA is past, than allah was forgiving, but he never told us if he is forgiving, or in the futur he will stay forgivin
                      there is the word KANA that speaks about the future , what do you say about it ?
                      294

                      people are still applying the rules of arabic grammar and iirab, made up by the enemies of islam in beirut , mister wakas still takes the rules of the quran as a perfect as the quran itself
                      even the dictiannary of arabic language is called MAAJAM , meaning, if you use the rules of arabic language, you will read the quran in a corrupted way, a crooked quran, understanding it backward, just as those people who made up the rules want

                      KANA is continuous present, I KNOW THAT IN ARABIC LANGUAGE , it is strictlly past, if it is the case, that ALLAH WAS, only , ALLAH HIMSELF BECOMES PAST , GONE

                      About IBLEES / JINN kana, it simply means that IBLEES is from your genes , that makes your intelligence / Genius , Ibliss = Oblivious = forgetfullness, it(s not beign, but a state of mind in the human beigns , just as chaitan = chicanery = cheating etc..

                          Thanks for the verse. After looking into it more, it seems "kana" can indicate the present tense.

                          As a side note, same with "kuntum", sometimes translated as "you are" / "you were".

                          All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.
